Killing Me SoftlyRoberta Flack
Even if you don’t recognize Roberta Flack’s name, you’ve probably heard “Killing Me Softly With His Blues,” known in Japan as “Yasashiku Utatte,” from the Nescafé commercial.
Born in 1937 and older than Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight, Roberta grew up in a musical family with a pianist father and an organist mother.
She excelled in competitions as a pianist, entered university, and studied classical music and vocal performance—an impressively intellectual background.
Her album debut came in 1969 with First Take, which included “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” the theme song for Clint Eastwood’s directorial debut Play Misty for Me; it topped the U.S.
charts and won a Grammy, making her something of a late bloomer who broke through after turning thirty.
In 1973, her cover of Lori Lieberman’s “Killing Me Softly With His Song” hit No.
1 in the U.S.
and won a Grammy, earning Roberta the unprecedented achievement of winning Record of the Year two years in a row.
From the 1970s onward, Roberta’s work has incorporated elements that bridge not only soul but also classical, jazz, and AOR, showcasing her talent as a sophisticated, cosmopolitan arranger.
She has remained a rare figure who continues to perform actively throughout a long career.
Even if gritty soul isn’t your thing, you may find Roberta’s gentle, soaring voice very accessible.
